Default Upgraded my Forges last night

I was pleasantly surprised to get the new pistons, o-rings and grease from Stratmosphere this week. So, I let the S4 cool off for a few hours after work and then made the switch. Install was pretty easy since I was able to leave the bottom hoses attached.

There's a very noticeable difference with the new parts. I wasn't sure how much my old valves were sticking, but now it's pretty clear that they were sticking regularly. Power delivery is much smoother now. I highly recommend swapping out the parts if you can make the time.

Default Me too.. Car shifts SOOO much smoother, not lurchy

I was pleasantly surprised at the difference. This is definitely the way these valves should have shipped to begin with.
